Will this affect my PIP assessments?

We’re also continuing to push for further improvements across the benefits system to make sure people with MS get the support they need.

A step towards making welfare make sense

Responding to the news, our Chief Executive, Michelle Mitchell, said:

“This is a long-awaited step towards making the welfare system make sense. We hope it will be good news for people with MS, but we still don’t know how many people it will help. We’d also like to see transparency around how the new process is working.

“Now the Government has recognised the futility of re-testing people with chronic and severe conditions who are too unwell to work, the same move needs to be made for other disability benefits. People with MS should be able to rely on support without the constant fear of having it taken away.”
